1. Operating features of the instrument
- The instrument has two operating modes: basic functions (direct ac-
cess) and advanced functions. In addition to the conguration functions,
available access to the MIN, MAX and DELTA (TIR) mode, or display of
tolerances (see chaps. 3 and 4)
- The «favourite» key gives direct access to the function used most often
(see chap. 7)
- Sets a Preset value, reset the MIN/MAX mode, veries a selection, and
controls switching off the instrument. By default, SIS mode enables au-
tomatic switch-off with no loss of origin (see chap. 8).
1.1 Personalising the functions
It is possible to activate or de-activate certain functions of the instrument via
RS232 (see chap. 11)
1.2 Data transmission parameters
4800Bds, 7 bits, even parity, 2 stop bits
2. Start

3.1 Automatic references
The instrument has the ability to switch automatically between its two references.
This allows using the caliper for both internal and external measuring without
going through the menu to change the reference.
Steps :
On Ref 1
• Introduce a measurement standard as preset, measure this standard and
do a preset recall
• Or set the zero at closed jaws position
On Ref 2
• Measure the internal measurement probes gap (with a caliper, probes
included) and introduce it as preset value
• Do a preset recall at closed jaws position
Set AREF
It is now possible to measure in REF1 when closing the jaws or in REF2 when
opening the jaws.

Bluetooth ® function
The connection procedure has been designed to be simple and is signalled by
the following three states:
1° Symbol off disconnected mode
2° Symbol blinking advertising mode
3° Symbol on connected mode
Connection:
1°Activate Bluetooth ® Smart compatible software and hardware (Master : PC,
Display Unit)
2°Start the instrument. By default the Bluetooth® module is active and the
instrument is available for connection during 120s (advertising mode)
3°As soon as the device is detected, a connection is established automatical-
ly. If no connnection is established during 120s, reactivate the Bluetooth ®
module using the bt / On menu.

8. Adjustment of the measuring system
MODE
SET
Certain applications need to adjust the instrument to the MIN (or MAX) measured
value. In this case, proceed as follows :
8.1 Adjustment of the instrument
• Enter a Preset value corresponding to the actual size of the standard (see
chap. 3)
• Select the MIN mode (or MAX, depending on the application) (see chap. 4)
• Make a standard measurement (going through the turnaround point)
• Adjust the instrument by selecting the SEt mode and pressing on the button
(see chap. 3)
• The instrument is adjusted and ready to measure.
8.2 Measure
• Make the measurements. The digital display stores and displays the MIN
(or MAX) measured value.
• Before each new measurement, reset the measured value by a short press
on

9. Extinction
The instrument goes automatically into stand-by if not used for 20 minutes,
unless Auto OFF mode has been turned off (see Chap. 4, advanced functions)
Stand-by mode can be forced by a prolonged press (> 2 sec) on
SET
MODE
The initial instrument settings can be restored at any time by a prolonged press
(>4 sec) simultaneously on and until the message rESEt is displayed.
Nevertheless the instrument retains its conguration settings (units and resolution).
In stand-by mode, the value of the origin is retained by the sensor (SIS mode),
and the instrument automatically restarts with any movement of the measure-
ment probe, RS command, Bluetooth®request or press of a button.
The instrument can be switched off completely for a long period of non-use,
but this will necessitate a zero reset on restart (the origin will be lost):
- Prolonged press (>4s) on :

11. Personalising the instrument
Access to the functions of your instrument can be personalised, for more infor-
mation see manufacturer’s website (requires you to connect your instrument
via a Proximity RS/USB cable).
Possibilities:
- De-activate or active the required functions
- Modify access to the advanced functions (direct access)

1. Les fonctionnalités de l’instrument
- L’instrument possède 2 modes de travail: fonctions de base (avec accès
direct) et fonctions avancées.
En plus des fonctions de conguration, vous pouvez accéder à 2 références
de travail, au mode MIN, MAX et DELTA (TIR), à l’afchage des tolérances,
ou à l’introduction d’un facteur de multiplication (voir chap. 3 et 4)
- Le bouton «favori» permet d’attribuer un accès direct à la fonction prin-
cipalement utilisée (voir chap. 7)
- Le bouton «SET» permet d’attribuer une valeur de Preset, de réinitialiser
le mode MIN/MAX, de quittancer une sélection, et de gérer l’extinction
de l’instrument. Par défaut, le mode SIS permet l’extinction automatique
sans perte de l’origine (voir chap. 8).
1.1 Personnalisation des fonctions
Vous avez la possibilité d’activer ou désactiver certaines fonctions de l’instru-
ment par RS232 (voir chap. 11)
1.2 Paramètres de transmission de données

3.1 Référence automatiques
L’instrument est capable de commuter automatiquement entre ses deux références.
Ceci permet d’utiliser le calibre pour les mesures intérieures et extérieures sans
passer par le menu pour changer de référence.
Marche à suivre :
En Ref 1
• Introduire une valeur étalon comme preset, mesurer l’étalon et faire un
rappel de preset
• Ou effectuer un zéro becs fermés
En Ref 2
• Mesurer l’écart entre les touches de mesure intérieure (avec un calibre,
touches comprises) et l’introduire comme valeur de preset
• Effectuer un rappel de preset becs fermés
Passer en AREF
Il est maintenant possible de mesurer en REF1 lorsque les becs se ferment ou
en REF2 lorsque les becs s’ouvrent.

3° Symbole mode connecté
Connexion:
1° S’assurer que l’application et le matériel Bluetooth ® Smart compatibles
sont actifs (PC, unité de mesure).
2° Démarrer l’instrument. Par défaut le module Bluetooth ® est actif et l’instru-
ment est connectable durant 120s (mode découverte).
3° Dès que l’instrument est détecté la connexion est automatique. Si la
connexion n’a pas été établie durant les 120s, réactiver le module Bluetooth ®
